Doing It Right: Pantone's Emerald in Children's Rooms

We are super excited about Pantone's choice of emerald green as color of the year for 2013. It's so fresh and vibrant, and can even make for a great accent color if you're not going to go whole hog. We gathered together a few of our favorite pops of green in recent kids' rooms featured on Apartment Therapy Family, many emerald and many close to emerald.

We're noticing emerald works really well in the company of other colors. Check out how these parents did it up:

BOTTOM ROW:11. Green Dresser Paint Inspiration While not surrounded by a gorgeous room, this piece dutifully illustrates how lovely greens of all hues are when they come together. 12. My Room: Lillian & Abigail Squint and you'll see it. Emerald is not a predominant color, but it's a crucial one. Pair it with mints and corals, people! 13. Caleb's Grey, Green, and Yellow Nursery All those yellow and grey nurseries we've been seeing? Just add green. 14. My Play Room: Baby D This is another fun one, where they wholeheartedly embrace the color and use it as a backdrop for a brighter, Scandinavian palette. 15. Two Kids' Rooms in a Brooklyn Brownstone Paint the ceiling green. Again, the Novogratzes utilized every shade of green. The ceiling leans a little leafy, but look closely and you'll see emerald in the linens.
